  1. was the car stable and smooth at 130?

    last time when i when i went to wollongong, travelled 120kph all the way. going there was abit windy (The Echo, weighing only 850kg + myself) , driving it straigiht was pretty hard. But once I got items in the trunk (weighing more than 40kg) it handles abit better @ high speed.

  2. Has anyone done much highway travel in a Yaris? I have just taken a new job which will result in a bit of travel to and from work (in excess of 100km each way) almost all of which will be on highways or motorways and I am considering a Yaris (for fuel economy). Has anyone had any expereience? How does a Yaris handle at 110kmh for long stretches? Any cabin noise issues?

    I travel quite alot everyday on my the echo, cabin noise can be noise on the highways, but fuel consumption is great! if you're doing alot of talking while driving then you might consider getting a different car. LOL... but if you put some sound deadener on the wheel arches it should keep it down abit.

  3. last friday I went and saw Cloverfield with my brothers... and 30mins into the movie I walked out! (got a full refund) I got sick (dizzy) within the first 5mins of the movie.

    So yeah if you guys haven't seen the movie and easily get dizzy (or motion sickness) would not recommend you seeing on the BIG SCREEN! just wait till comes out on dvd and watch it on a small tv :D

  4. really? i thought the option for the safety pack was only available if you were getting the car brand new. once they make the car they put in the extra airbags. :blink:

    yeah you can add it later, my friend asked and according to the Toyota Sales Rep, it would take a month to do it. So it's $600 + 1 month of no car. :spiteful:

  5. nope. no safety pack. :( no extras either, he said he couldnt afford to give me any extras. so yeh yrx stock.

    thats ok, you can add it yourself. The Optional Safety Pack is $600. But really its worth investing in the safety pack, especially for a small car. Other than that the stock YRX looks hot! :yahoo:

  6. UPDATE! I went back and got the 06 YRX yesterday :yahoo:

    $21,400 for the 08 yrs + my trade in wasnt very worth it to me. it was like giving the dealer my car for free <_< i didnt want to wait 1-3months for it to arrive either.

    i managed to get the 06 yrx for $17,000 with no trade in at all. im very happy with my yrx. im so in love with it! im like totally paranoid on the road though, thinking some idiot is jsut going to hit in to me and drive off (happened with my old car ). or leaving it at the shopping car parks and it would get scratched or get a dent from someone opening their door and not caring :angry: its perfect for me although seeing the blind spots are HORRIBLE. i cant see them at all. :blink:

    so $17k how many kms has it done???

    oh congrats! post pics!!
